I just brought the basket case home

92 talon TSI AWD. I dont know everything about it. I do know it was worth the 500 it cost me. Here is the low down of what I know / what I was told. I bought it from a guy named Jeff, who bought it from a guy named JR. I am friends with JRs cousin. The cousin called me and informed me that JRs former car was for sale for cheap. So I picked it up.

I have no way to work on a car ATM, so I called JR and asked him to put it back together for me. That is the current state. He said when he sold the car, it was in perfect working order with 0 miles on it. All of a sudden we got the car back and found out the guy never even drove it. Jeff took apart the head to port it right after he bought it. It also looks like someone tried to replace the odometer lol.

-6 bolt rebuilt by trust worthy guy
-Head ported on exhaust side and apparently someone fucked with the intake side
-Eprom ECU ( i was told)
-4 bolt rear ( april make)
-stock 90 external oil cooler
-Sunroof ( stock)
-Maroon in color
-AZ car, one spot of rust on passenger door.

As for the bad - Its a long list
-Paint is burned from sitting in the sun too long
-One rust spot on passenger door
-No driver door handle
-I cant find the 2nd half of the turbo ( exhaust housing I think?)
-Middle taillight to the 92 talon is broken
-Front bumper/ hood is still at the previous owners house.
-Previous owner is a PITA to work with
-Entire dash is ghetto. Peeling over every where. Missing peices etc.
-1 flat tire and 2 different set of rims
-202 miles on chassis
-Can't find the TB lol
-Head was tampered with on intake side, not sure if its too bad.

I am unsure about the rest.

If anyone has anything to help, or has any advice its appreciated. I will post some pictures as soon as I can get some. I need a lot of parts but have a minimal amount of money to work with now that I am going to school.
